The graph is really telling. More sanction than ever and the US has maybe never seen it’s enemies and nonaligned states more cooperative (atleast since the days of the USSR although that’s debatable). This is probably the biggest shortcoming of the Biden admin foreign policy, the rise of BRICS and stuff like that.
ETA: biggest shortcoming strategically not morally, that would be Gaza obviously.
Berlin police have confirmed that a 13-year-old was detained “on suspicion of insult,” which is a criminal offence under German law.
Dawg…
Same as it ever was (ever meaning the past 2 years atleast).

It would still take months to build a detonator though.
I genuinely do not care who owns the factory as long as it creates jobs.
Those were the Sweden rape charges and that was actually 2010. He went to the embassy in 2012. The Trump admin charged him under the Espionage Act in 2018.
The tiktok legislation might have them sweating in a case like this.
The state saying “you know you really should do something about this” is inherently coercive.
Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon.
??? The emails were leaked before any charges were filed. The Trump admin filed the charges. Ultimately the Biden admin cut him a deal. Obama or other democrats didn’t seem to want to charge him.
Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago.
Could you show what specifically was fake?
BRICS is less about alliances, in fact the UAE and Iran are enemies to the level of the US and Russia. It’s more about reducing the influence of Western sections on global politics. Basically anyone not reliant on the West financially would benefit from joining BRICS since it reduces the leverage the West has over them.
ETA: it’s a similar concept to OPEC where many countries are outright enemies.
I feel like the mere reminder that Hillary exists is a detriment to Dems electoral prospects.
Yep. And the subheading I really have a problem with.
Reading too much into the language seems, at this point, to be less of a danger than reading too little into it.
The implication being that it’s low stakes to make this accusation without solid evidence. In reality the whole justification from the West for the state of affairs between Israel and Palestine is that Arabs are a bunch of backwards savages, and this extends to the way the West has acted throughout the Middle East.
You’re right that most Americans don’t care about this and, to the extent they do the pro-Israel group has more resources and have it as a higher political priority. On the other hand the pentagon and state dept definitely see it as a security issue. They see a highly militarized Israel as an asset as a detterent and an insurance policy if things pop off in the ME. This is the conventional wisdom, but it’s far from controversial if it’s the best policy given that Arab forces refuse to fight on the same side as the Israelis, and modern US war stategy calls for using local indigenous forces they prop up. Overall the US will never except not having a strong military presence in the ME (atleast until oil demand drops in the coming decades when renewables become very cheap) and Israel is one of the ways they achieve this.
Edit: for some reason I said far from controversial, but I meant it is controversial.
